Get your ass to the southwest. Buy a used copy of Desert Solitaire and make it your bible. Poke a cactus. Make friends with the lizards. Go see Meow Wolf in Santa Fe because that place is cool as shit. Spend at least one night sleeping outside, under the stars, ideally somewhere far away from major light pollution. Hike Big Bend or maybe Enchanted Rock and ask an acquaintance from a small online forum who happens to be visiting Austin starting September 4 if he wants to come (he'd love to). Bathe in the heat, and thank your lucky stars that it's a dry heat. The French Quarter's pretty but New Orleans' humidity is deadly this time of year.
